Looking for a Medical Exemption for the Covid-19 Vaccination?

Currently there are only two valid reasons for a medical exemption from the COVID-19 Vaccination.

• allergic reaction to a component of the vaccine within an individual, which must be confirmed by an allergist or immunologist.

• Individuals with physician-diagnosed myocarditis or pericarditis following their first COVID 19 vaccination.

If you wish to decline for non-medical reasons, there are currently no exemption affidavits for adults and as such your primary care physician cannot provide documentation.

Please contact the clinic directly at 519 925 0017 if you fall into either of these categories and require an exemption.
